Pistachio Rose Matcha Latte

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

1 cupraw shelled pistachios, soaked overnight

2 teaspoons matcha powder

1 teaspoon rose water

1 teaspoon raw cashew butter

1 teaspoon raw honey

PROCEDURE

Drain and rinse the soaked pistachios then add them to the container of a high speed blender with 2 cups cold water. Blend on high for 15-30 seconds. Pour the pistachio milk through a fine mesh sieve or a nut milk bag into a medium pot and discard the pulp (or save it for another use). Warm the pistachio milk over medium heat until barely simmering (do not boil). Rinse out the blender. Combine the matcha, rose water, cashew butter and honey in the blender, add the warm milk, and blend on high for 10-15 seconds, until frothy. Serve immediately.

HEALING HERBAL TEA RECIPE

If you want to create blends that you can premix and keep on your shelves you’ll want to use all dried herbs for each ingredient. Some of these herbs can be used fresh, you just won’t be able to save them.

During one of the conference days in Chicago, we escaped out to lunch at a local Thai restaurant to explore more of the city’s culinary offerings. As always, we’ll try to order something new and different. When we’re at a Thai restaurant, it normally involves ordering our favorites. This includes a curry dish, one noodle dish and an appetizer. On top of that, we must always have Thai iced tea. Because how can we NOT have Thai iced tea when we eat Thai food? It’s one of those decant “dessert” drinks that helps soothe the burn when we overload on too much of Thai spice.

The tea we use to make this Thai iced tea is ICed Ceylon Black Tea. Our Iced Ceylon Black tea is a richly flavored, dark amber thirst-quencher with a refreshingly brisk kick. Made with premium Ceylon black tea leaves from Sri Lanka and a sunny disposition, Ceylon Black Iced Tea is a classic in the making. Just sit back and enjoy one of our most popular organic black iced teas.

Bring water to boil and add the tea bags, sugar, anise starts, cardamom pod and cloves. Stir until all the sugar disolves. Gently boil tea for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Allow tea to steep for at least 30 minutes and allow it to cool. The more concentrated the tea flavor, the better the Thai tea tastes. We prefer to allow the tea bags to seep for about 2 hours for maximum flavor. During this time, the thai tea can cool.

Remove the tea bags and spoon out the anise starts, cardamom pod and cloves. If tea is still warm, we will refrigerate it so it can be chilled.

You can make this ahead of time and have the organic Thai tea chilling in the fridge.

Fill glasses with ice and pour in organic Thai tea leaving enough room to fill in your half and half (or other creamer). For an 8 oz. glass we like to add about 2-3 tablespoons of half and half for a creamier flavor.

Swill Rolls, or Roll Cakes (ロールケーキ) which we call in Japan, are a type of sponge cake filled with whipped cream, buttercream, custard cream, and sometimes include fruits like strawberries.

Matcha Swiss Roll (抹茶ロールケーキ) is always a popular choice in Japan. If you have a soft spot for anything matcha green tea, I am pretty sure you’re going to be as obsessed with this cake as I am.

The main ingredient we used in this Matcha cake roll is our Premium Gyokuro Matcha. Our Gyokuro Matcha originates from the foothills of Japan's tea capital, Uji where most Japanese teas are grown. Carefully hand selected, we ensure the highest quality of Matcha is shipped to us from Japan.
